<span>Balloons are blown up, and then rubbed against your shirt many times. The balloon then touches the ceiling. When released, the balloon remains stuck to the ceiling. The balloon is charged by contact. The ceiling has a neutral charge. The charged balloon induces a slight surface charge on the ceiling opposite to the charge on the balloon. Balloon and ceiling electric charges are opposite in sign, so they will attract each other. Since both the balloon and the ceiling are insulators, charge can not flow from one to the other. The charge on the balloon is fixed on the balloon and the charge on the ceiling remains fixed to the ceiling. It just so happens that the<span> electrostatic force the ceiling exerts on the balloon is sufficient to hold the balloon in place (i.e. overcomes gravity, etc.).</span></span>

Neglecting air, what speed does a rock thrown straight up have to be to reach the edge of our atmosphere: say 100 km? Still negl
Ugo [173]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.

Mathematically we have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final velocity and Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity

0 - v_i^2 = 2(9.8)(100*10^3)

v_i = 14*10^2m/s

Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.

The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is 14 * 10 ^ 2m / s

You are operating a pwc. you are heading straight toward a dock. you turn the engine off and then turn the steering control hard
White raven [17]
In this case, the PWC will head for the dock. This is because, power needs to be applied in order to maintain steering control. If the throttle is left to idle or if the engine is turn off during operation, all steering control will be lost. In each of this situation, the PWC will continue in the was headed before the engine was turned off or before the throttle was left to idle.

Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. The spring constants are listed in the table.
Natalka [10]
The Hook's law states that F=Ke, where 
F⇒force applied to the spring,
e⇒extension of the spring and 
K⇒spring constant. 
Spring constant determines the strength of the spring. The larger the spring constant the stronger the spring it is. 
The list from the greatest to list is: 

X, W, Y, Z

const2013 [10]

Answer:

B.Law of conservation of energy

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

Which part of the earth do the suns direct rays hit during the summer solstice
sergey [27]
The sun is at the solstices on roughly June 21 and December 21.

June 21 is the "Summer" solstice in the Northern hemisphere.
At that time, the sun is directly overhead at a point on the Tropic
of Cancer, about 23.5° North of the equator.

December 21 is the "Summer" solstice in the Southern hemisphere.
At that time, the sun is directly overhead at a point on the Tropic
of Capricorn, about 23.5° South of the equator.
